Capital Centre

This is an especially long version, and Hornsby's accordian gives it an orchestral feel.

Bird Song
Oct. 17, 1981
Hippodrome

A fairly unique version, because of its placement in the second set and the way that it jams into NTAW.

Hippodrome

An interesting segue from a rare second set Bird Song which is unfinished.

The Wheel
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Strong version which leads into a nice jam, and a very well-developed transition to Playin Reprise, reminiscent of 76/77 versions.

Uncle John's Band

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Extremely passionate, if compact version. JG's leads are especilly determined during the jams.

Morning Dew
Oct. 14, 1980
Warfield Theater

The final crescendo is okay, but the guitar break mid-song is really quite strong.
Looks Like Rain

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Yeah, Bob's voice is shot, but Jerry's solo and fills at the end are truly powerful; and he gets really good support from Vince on piano.
Passenger
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

Ooh,this one burns.
Dark Star
Dec. 11, 1969
Thelma Theater

Yeah, I'll vote it up. Interesting version, as are both of the shows on DaP's X: we get to see the Dead between the psychedelic Live/Dead (69) period and the more rock-oriented 1970 era.
Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Perfectly paced version.
